Re: early spring ride - pictures

I'll have to agree with both of you. I love the SV and can't imagine
ever replacing it but I would like to get both a smallish dual sport and
a largish sport tourer. I'd like to get a DS to do some trail riding. I
also have a nephew who will be getting a little 50cc trail bike in a
couple of years so I'm gonna have to be able to keep up with a 4 year
old. I've done several 500 or 600 mile days in a row on the SV with no
trouble so range isn't an issue. I have good soft luggage so storage
isn't a big deal either. One thing the SV does not do well (IMO) is go
two-up. I want to get something that will be comfortable for my wife and
have enough motor to haul my fat a$$ around with a little extra weight
hanging out over the rear axle. An ST1300 or a K1200GT should do nicely.
